Flat roof repairs in Exeter
Leaking flat roofs on garages, extensions and dormers traced and repaired across Exeter, with honest advice on repair or replace.
Leaking flat roof?
Ayre Roofing repair flat roofs across Exeter: felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass, on garages, extensions, dormers and commercial buildings. We find where the water is getting in, fix it properly, and tell you straight if the roof is past repairing.
Flat roofs rarely fail in the middle. Water gets in at the edges, around upstands where the roof meets a wall, at outlets that have blocked, or through blisters and splits where the covering has aged. On older felt roofs, standing water and sun do most of the damage.
Repairs that stop the problem coming back
As well as fixing the leak, we look at why it happened: improving drainage and falls, renewing edge trims and upstands, and checking the deck underneath for rot. Some small repairs can be a DIY job, but a professional repair is done safely and lasts, and our work comes with a guarantee.
Repair or replace?
If the covering is sound apart from one spot, we repair it. If the deck is soft, or the felt is cracked all over, patching is money down the drain, and we'll say so. A new EPDM rubber roof is often the sensible next step.

Flat roof repairs in Exeter: common questions
Why is my flat roof leaking?
The most common causes are failed edges and upstands, blocked outlets, splits and blisters in old felt, and water ponding where the roof has sagged. We check all of them.
Can a flat roof just be patched?
Yes, if the rest of the covering and the deck are sound. If the roof has failed in several places, a patch only buys a little time.
Can you repair a rubber roof?
Yes. EPDM rubber roofs can be patched and resealed with compatible materials.
Can you repair my flat roof in the rain?
Some temporary repairs, yes. Permanent repairs need a dry surface, so we'll make it safe first and come back on a dry day if we need to.
How much does a flat roof repair cost?
It depends on the size of the problem and the roof. We come out, look and give you a free, no-obligation quote.

“Undertook work as advised late 2023/early 2024 and right from the start Chris was proactive in keeping me up to speed with progress and requesting instruction when the inevitable snag was encountered. Site was left clean and tidy despite it being a fairly messy job! It's been 6 months now and no sign of any further leaks from the roof so I'm very happy with the outcome.”
“Chris was brilliant he gave us good advice, was quick to come out, gave us a competitive quote and fitted us in at short notice as the roof was leaking badly. The job looks brilliant and was done when he said it would be.”
“Very happy with my new garage roof. Everything was left very tidy.”
